Title  25th Hour
This is the story of a poor Irish kid from New York City who once wanted to be a fireman, but ended up instead, a drug dealer. He explains his situation this way. The most important thing in life is 'sway,' that is, the influence you have over your surroundings. He has charm, good looks and, as a dealer, money. It was the easiest and fastest way to get to the top – until he got caught. He is the charmer. His father is the dreamer. The father, an alcoholic saloonkeeper, never could make ends meet. He sees himself as the classic ner-do-well Irish father, blaming himself for his son's choices in life. Yet, even with grim reality loaming overhead, he talks of changing his son's situation, carrying on expansively about his son's rosy future. It is often asked if the famous FU rant in the film is from the original book or an invention of Spike Lee. A: The rant is in the book, but Lee added Enron executives to the list.
